If Nintendo spent years being arrogant like Sony and believing they were untouchable I would feel the same about them.
There are many reasons why a game would end up with many second-hand units available... did you bother to find out why or just picked the reason that most suited your bias?

The hate is strong with this one.

Considering their demographics, I'm sure Local Multiplayer is where it's at for most MK owners =)

I guess you weren't around in the late 80s and early 90s then.
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
I agree that GTA4 is very much overrated, I've hear Saint's Row 2 is much better. GTA4 was very repetitive and the dating was very uninteresting, I don't know what's going on with the gaming world, but I can't believe all the awards this game is getting.

I don't see it -- every time I play MK Online it is a blast and you'll notice that most of the people you play with are playing with friends (you can tell if people are sharing a Wii).
MK online is much better than GTA 4 online. If you haven't played both, obviously, it wouldn't make sense to draw a comparison. But I bet MK online has a lot more players than GTA 4 online also. Probably many times as many.

His point is that less that 2/3 Wii owners have their Wii connected to the Internet (a little after half I believe)
I'm fairly certain more than 3/4 of the total time played MKWii is offline.
Heck, I have to say that MKWii online is insanely much more fun than online (with 3 friends of course).
